R/O Seizures

a pseudo seizure responds to pain (I do a sternal rub)

they stop when you are out of the room, and increase with family present

they track your motions with their eyes while seizing

sometimes they stop if you tell them to.

You make a good point. Did this neurosurgeonn have ay tricks that he used to differentiate betwee the reals and the fakes (besidesthe EEG)? It isn't even an option on the graveyard shift at many hospitals I've worked in (other than in the ER and on Neuro floors, and you pretty much have to donate a kidney to get them to give theirs up!).
